Olga Noronha, a 21 years old, London based portuguese jewellery designer, has been relentlessly examining the relationship between bodies, attitudes and surroundings, both in the wearer’s and the audience’s points of view. Olga’s creations are never mere ornaments, but are art pieces that celebrate the marriage of sturdy mechanics and delicate anatomies.

Wishing people not to be apathetic towards her work, whatever the reaction – good or bad, Olga welcomes doubts for they may lead to surprise.

Fashion designer, art director and undergraduate architecture student. Owner of a watchful and curious look, I have interest in experimentation of diverse techniques and combination of unusual materials. Crafts are one of my passions and I find numerous possibilities of transforming discarded objects in a fasionable and sustainable way. My interests go from fine arts to architecture and cinema. In my free time I enjoy cycling observing the city, and cooking - as I nurture a passion for pasta and meetings around the kitchen table.
